What does everyone do with their empty saltmix buckets?

[RandyC]

I have around 6 empty Red Sea and IO salt buckets with lids just sitting in my garage. Seems a waste just to chuck them in the trash. What does everyone else do with them?

If anyone wants them, they're yours. Pick up in Castro Valley.

Check with @Coral reefer . He uses them all the time and then forgets them at my place, so he may need more.

P.S. I don't need any because I have all of @Coral reefer 's

Ooohh - buckets. Bring them to a club event and they will be gone in a flash by people like me who buy bagged salt in boxes. Or, place with a FREE sign in your yard and neighbors will take them.

Right... he "forgets" them at your place

They are fully recyclable.
The scew on lids are great to store food while away camping

I use the Salinity buckets for brewing malt and baking flour grains storage.

I actually like the instant ocean buckets for service. If they have intact handle I will take them at events.

We’ve used them for bulk powdered sugar or flour storage. My wife does some baking.

I use them for transporting free organic compost from the Sunnyvale Smart station (it’s free, but only up to 96 gallons per week is allowed lol - who knows how they came to that figure - but thanks to my 5-gallon salt buckets I know exactly how many gallons of dirt I’m taking away!)

I have one in the garage for storing bulk rice. Another for hardwood chunks from tree pruning that I save for bbq.

No kidding! That’s a lot of sugar. Do you do a lot of bake sales or something?

Not for bake sales. She would do cakes and cupcakes for friends. One batch of frosting for a single cake takes like 6 cups of powdered sugar. I was surprised how much sugar goes into frosting.

I use them for recycling old oil. They work great for that and the fire department takes them.
